Please apply to net-next.

As I've stated at least 10 times this week, net-next is not open
and therefore submitting patches for net-next is not appropriate.

If people are not going to even read my announcements and
notifications of the states of the various GIT trees, I might as well
not make them at all.

Perhaps setup a patchwork bot to autoreply to the
sender only that these won't be looked at until
after the merge window closes and train yourself
to ignore the patchwork queue until then?

Sorry, people simply need to learn when it's appropriate to
submit patches.

Forcing them to resend at the appropriate time will train
their minds to take such things into consideration.

And if it's too bothersome to get them to resubmit, perhaps
they don't consider their patch important enough after all.

That's why we always handle situations like this by dropping things
and asking for a resend.
